Data scientist is now the highest-paying job for students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in the United States and is projected to grow from a $138.9 billion market in 2020 to a $229.4 billion market by 2025. However, experiences with data are rare in today’s K-12 classrooms and curriculum.
This conference will introduce K-12 students, educators, and parents to foundational data science concepts and examples of data science careers across industries with a combination of workshops and presentations, divided into three levels for age-appropriate content. *K-12 educators and parents are encouraged to attend!*
Foundational Concept: Establish intuition and core ways of thinking about and visualizing data
Tools & Techniques: Focus on platforms and tools that support data analysis and bring insight
Becoming a Data Scientist: Learn what it takes to be a data scientist -- including skills, training and education
Who, What, When, Where, & Why: We'll incorporate presentations, panels, and other hands-on sessions that are specific to K-12 educators
